This is the first Wicked Carnival Productions stuff I've done since I lost my brother on Saturday morning I just want to take a moment to say the outpouring of support from not just friends and family but fans from across the globe is amazing THANK YOU SO MUCH :) Lets get back to business that is what my brother would want me to do .

I like most horror fans collect autographs (while I collect different genres the only thing on display in my office is horror) How I started was kind of odd, I was surfing the web looking at Halloween pics and stuff like that when I stumbled on fanmail.biz which is a site that lists celebrities addresses either though the management or their current project . I saw that someone had received John Carpenter's autograph and I was intrigued . So I made the decision that I would go get some stamps and envelopes and give it a try . so I wrote a nice fan letter explaining to Mr. Carpenter how much Halloween effected me and still effects me all these years later and asked him to sign the enclosed DVD cover and return it in the pre stamped envelope enclosed and I sent it out not knowing if I just lost my Haloween DVD cover forever or if it would comeback signed . Fast forward 14 days my wife came in from getting out oldest son off the school bus and said you got something in the mail today. I opened it and it was my Halloween DVD case neatly signed by Mr. Carpenter and I was instantly hooked on the hobby.

The MAJORITY of my horror autographs have come at the cost of shipping while I have paid up to $30 dollars + shipping for some but in my defense it's Freddy Kruger himself Robert England so I paid the man for his signature .

My BIGGEST sub collection in my horror collection might surprise many of the readers because you all know I LOVE Halloween but Halloween is #2 in my collect in terms of total number of pieces (13) and #1 is (Drum Roll) ..............Friday The 13th with a whopping 29 pieces !! I have a Sean S. Cunningham (the director of Friday The 13th, Ari Leiman (the first Jason) Betsy Palmer Adrienne King and many more :)

Collecting autographs TTM (through the mail) is a great way to make getting the mail everyday more fun . and I think it's cool that most people are willing to sign for fans who might not be able to get to a convention a couple of states away (Not many come near Maine and travel is an issue for me .

The longest I ever waited for a reply was 3 and a half years, I had sent a request to Danielle Harris (Halloween 4 & 5 as well as Rob Zombie's Halloween & H2) I figured it got lost in the mail or she never got it, or just never sent it back whatever more then the length of time I remember this because I got back Heather Langencamp the same day she sent me a sweet promo shot of her and Freddy (which is what I would later pay Mr. England to sign making it my only duel signed horror piece. I opened the envelope from Heather Langencamp first and was like "What the hell is this then" ? I open the envelope and I couldn't believe what I pulled out . both Halloween 4 / 5 duel pack and H2 signed nicely :) I thanked her on Twitter and she apologized about the delay which the delay was fine with me she's a very in demand actress .

I have thought about posting pictures of my collection either in a blog or on a different section of the site, not sure if I will as with things happening so quickly and Sins of Man II : Vengeance kicking off shooting on May 1st I might not have time and once we get the movie shot then the promotional work starts :) we have a tour planned and are looking into a convention or two to get Wicked Carnival Productions out there :) Would you like to see pictures of my horror collection, let me know :)
